How can I download podcasts on iPod Touch? (I have the RSS feed.)

I have the RSS feed of a podcast that I'd like to download (not just stream) and play on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 6. I have the Podcasts App (purple icon) and the Music App (brownish-orange icon).

What must I do? When I tap the Podcasts App, It says "You can subscribe to podcasts in Top Charts or the Podcasts Store". Is it possible to bypass Top Charts and the Podcasts Store and just load the RSS feed URL into some app? I don't think the podcast I want to add is found in either Top Charts or the Podcasts Store.

uselessSABOTAGE, yes you had a wortless reply like yur handle implies. The original poster (OP) did not use the term iTouch

You are correct my response was supposed to be completely useless for this thread because it is my pet peeve when somebody says 'iTouch' Please see the picture below to see that the OP did indeed use 'iTouch'.

If you look carefully at your first reply it says 'iPod Touch', looks like they changed it after I said something.

Seeing as I am batting 1.000 might as well ask if you know anything about https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4974236?answerId=21829555022#21829555022

Thanks

Illaass, does your response imply that I can't do what I envision using the Podcasts app and that I must use a third-party app?
